Egg Carton Hearts
Valentine's Day is a great time to make fun crafts and gifts to share with your friends and family. In the video Valentine's Plans, Molly and Trini reminisce about things they've made or done in previous years and think about what they might like to make for their friends this year. Brainstorm valentine craft ideas with your child. Ask questions like, "What do you think Molly and Trini should make? What do you think we should make? What can we make from recycled materials?" Here is one idea to try.
Materials
Directions
Cut out the egg "nests" from your egg carton.
Paint the egg nests red or any color you'd like.
Paint the cardboard base pink or any color you’d like. Let it dry.
Glue the egg nests onto the carboard base in the shape of a heart.
Cut out a cardboard frame and paint it. Let it dry.
Glue the frame to the cardboard base. Your gift is ready! Happy Valentine's Day!
